I own a Mac and have tried several times to download a font from the internet and then load it into photoshop, but to no avail. It downloads to my download window but it's a zip file. How do I get this into photoshop?

Just open your finder. Go Applications --> Font Book --> And drag your downloaded font into that. Photoshop will sync automatically to your Font Book. Any questions PM me  |

Also you can dump the unzipped font into your font folder.
Macintosh HD>Library>Fonts
Quit, and restart PS and you should see your font. |

It wont let me drag the downloaded font into the FontBook, or add it in anyway. Any ideas?

Actually on a mac it usually automatically un-zips the file when you download it....

Or if it isn't un-zipping download an extractor from the apple website.
